Numb
02:00

i felt numb i looked into the eyes of everything that once gave me meaning and hope still i felt numb
i yelled at all the gods all the angels and demons alike asking for meaning and found nothing just this numb
the sound of friends and family all together singing as a choir some so sure some so lost yet all i feel is numb
these pills i mixed in and topped off with another smoke maybe when it kicks in maybe ill shake this feeling numb
day in day out another drink another pill another smoke i bend to their will but yet still i am numb
this slow suicidal dance hearts failing livers straining relationships ending all I feel is numb
another drink another song this dance between criminal and artisan alike we find ourselves behind closed doors still so numb
comrads and foes lovers and mistresses pastors and street preachers all preaching their gospels but all i feel is numb
some want there day in the sun i just want my day to have meaning so what have i become? numb.
forever more ill always be numb forever more ill always be numb
forever more ill always be numb forever more ill always be numb

Poison Pull

The light is dimly lit in this town but still i find the space to hold down a drink or two
and yes this day is closing but i take warmth in knowing sleep will come soon as im sprawled out in my room
you have your ups and downs yet again youve won this round
as im sprawled in my room here finding no solid ground
here I go again taking a pull yet again
that familar burn it knows me so well i can feel it in my chest
things become clear when your clearly unclear you think im weak? well i could clearly care less.
lay me down again my dear old friend x4
so i can sleep again

Fill your cup my partner in crime lets slam back this whiskey and wine
tell me those stories that ive heard before about how we're winning this losers war
cause i wanna know why the worlds got you down you wear those scars like a crimson crown
so lets down one more round for the monster inside your trying to drown
ive got things that i sure regret but tonight we drink so lets forgive and forget
all of the reasons we have to give them the finger and all those thoughts that seem to linger
so let me know why the worlds got you down you wear those scars like a crimson crown
so lets down one more round for the monster inside your trying to drown
so let me know why the worlds got you down you wear those scars like a crimson crown
so lets down one more round for the monster inside your trying to drown

Preacher Man

I wish that i was a preacher man so I could be a guide to all my friends about which way to go
and where the well would flow but i know that i'm as lost as all of them
At least i'm an honest man I don't need no 50 million dollar plan
no delusions of grandeur are in my stature cause i know that i'm just as lost as them
so tell me tell me mr preacher man about the void that's real in your hands
tell me where i'm gonna go
if i don't follow
you when your just as lost as them

Daily Sickness
02:38
|

|
Lay me down my weary head I've been traveling this promised land
seems it was all lies built in my head
the man on tv tells me hes got my fix
but im having a hard time catching his sickness
So I run to the gospel man
maybe he's got a better plan? and i yell
preacher man can you save my soul?
cause ive been searching through the lies i'm sold
and then it hits me like a cold winds blow
preacher man looks just like the tv man
3 piece suit and a pseudo tan
selling me salvation in a money-gram
So i keep walking down this road searching for substance
in a world so cold and I cry out for all the naysayers to hear
greed you wont take my soul ill never buy the lies i'm sold
when the reaper calls my name ill be certain i lived my life my way x2
preacher man looks just like the tv man
3 piece suit and a pseudo tan
selling me salvation in a moneygram

Kindred

my friends aren't any saints but we make it by day to day whether it be through drinking games to ease the pain or that needle in the veins
sometimes I feel like giving up but we'll rise to the occasion
we'll knock this crooked system down
cause I know yes i know we're gonna be ok
and this is for the ones we've lost lost in that place where no one knows
where you've gone but in the end I know you went to a better place
my friends my friends
and there was always the nights where we'd run from the blue lights
got caught once or twice but we always made nice
got a few scrapes and bruises from living this life
but in the end i know we're gonna be alright
and now we're getting older and some of us grew colder
some of us grew bolder and others became soldiers
and I don't know why this time some of us lost the fight inside
but I know yes I know we're gonna be ok
we're gonna be ok

Wandering Song
02:10
|
|||
|
The rain in this town seems to deaden the deafening sound
of the thoughts in my head that are constantly swirling around
that soothing echo is gone yet I let go
of the thoughts that cloud my mind
Where am I going? Where Have I been?
Will this all work out? I press on to the end.
cause im swimming with spirits
and feasting with heathens
judged by the sovereign
estranged from believers
my lifes a wandering song
Im far from perfect and pain knows me well
smoke and rye are never far from my shelf
so pass me beer ill tell you a story
about a man searching in the sea of love
with nothing but a broken compass
so ill stay here
swimming with spirits
and feasting with heathens
judged by the sovereign
estranged from believers
my lifes a wandering song
swimming with spirits
and feasting with heathens
judged by the sovereign
estranged from believers
my lifes a wandering song
